Apple iPhone 4S photo tour

We camped out overnight to be one of the first to get our hands on the iPhone 4S and we’ve already unboxed it for you and did a brief walkthrough about Siri, the voice-controlled personal assistant. We’ll have the full review up for you shortly but take a few looks at these photos to let you know what you can expect.

In the gallery below, you’ll notice there’s a black unit and that’s actually an iPhone 4. The outer design of the iPhone 4S isn’t that much different than the previous model, but there are a few subtle changes. The antenna has been tweaked, the right spine has changed a little and there’s a sensor on top of the ear microphone.

Other than that, it looks the same, as you have a 3.5-inch Retina Display and the single home button on the face along with the front-facing camera for FaceTime calls. Inside, the iPhone 4S has a dual-core A5 processor, a boosted camera that now has an 8-megapixel lens, Bluetooth 4.0 and more.

Just as important as the hardware improvements is the software that powers the iPhone 4S, as it comes out of the box with iOS 5, iCloud and the Siri personal assistant. We have a lot of thoughts on each of these but we’ll save them for the upcoming review.
